Wired ist ein US-amerikanisches Technologie-Magazin. Nicholas Negroponte, Direktor des Media Lab des MIT, steuerte die Anschubfinanzierung bei und wird "Starkolumnist". Derzeitiger Chefredakteur: Chris Anderson, bekannt durch die Long-Tail-Theorie.

The ideas expressed here may be dangerous. For this year's list, we walked right past the usual suspects and went looking for trouble. We wanted radicals, heretics, agitators—big thinkers with controversial, game-changing propositions. We found a prison reformer who wants to empty jails, an economist who thinks foreign aid hurts more than it helps, and a military theorist who believes the US should launch preemptive cyberattacks, right now. Then there's secretary of defense robert gates, who wants to win wars, not just prep for them. Risky? Sure. But this is no time to play it safe.
